No. of Paragraph 22

Over 30 tonnes of contaminated seafood has been seized by European authorities, potentially saving millions of people from getting food poisoning over Christmas.

Footage released by Spain’s Guardia Civil shows police officers seizing molluscs and six tonnes of glass eels worth up to 10 million euros (£8.2 million) on the seafood market, which were illegally harvested by organised criminal groups in Portugal and Spain.

The delicacies can fetch up to £25 per kilo, but poaching gangs exploited Asian workers by paying them just pennies per kilo for molluscs fished in contaminated waters in Portugal.

A total of 62 members of the group were arrested by Europol, with authorities identifying six of the suspects as ‘High-Value Targets’.
